Soccer at 6 in Local Parks

Soccer mad youngsters, aged 5 - 12 years, will be given the opportunity to play soccer in local parks from May onwards.

Debbie Wall, Rushmoor Borough Council's Leisure Development Officer, says: "This is a great initiative, giving children the opportunity to learn new skills or develop existing ones. Rushmoor Council has developed Soccer at 6 with Aldershot Town Football Club and the North East Hampshire School Sport Partnership, who are both dedicated in helping children develop in a sport they enjoy."

Soccer at 6 starts on Tuesday May 2nd and runs until Thursday August 31st at five different venues in and around Aldershot and Farnborough. (Excluding weekends and Bank Holidays) The cost is £2.50 per session.

The sessions are from 6pm - 7.15pm at the following venues:

Mondays - Aldershot Park
Tuesdays - King George V Playing Fields, Farnborough
Wednesdays - Cove Green, Farnborough
Thursdays - Manor Park, Aldershot
Fridays - Queen's Road Recreation Ground, North Camp

Kirk Wheeler, Aldershot Town Football Club says: "There is no need to book, children can just turn up and play. It is a great opportunity for kids to try out the sport and then decide whether they would like to continue playing with the club. The sessions are open to boys and girls. Children need to wear sports kit and trainers and should bring a drink."
